docs Dapr Sidecar Injector control plane service overview Sidecar injector Overview of the Dapr sidecar injector process

When running Dapr in [Kubernetes mode]({{% ref kubernetes %}}), a pod is created running the Dapr Sidecar Injector service, which looks for pods initialized with the [Dapr annotations]({{% ref arguments-annotations-overview %}}), and then creates another container in that pod for the [daprd service]({{% ref sidecar %}})

Running the sidecar injector

The sidecar injector service is deployed as part of dapr init -k, or via the Dapr Helm charts. For more information on running Dapr on Kubernetes, visit the [Kubernetes hosting page]({{% ref kubernetes %}}).
